Hi,

the material database has lost the reinforcement items. Without it I dont think it’s possible to add reinforcement though the API? Tried to make a costum material but the “define wire” will not accept it.

Hi @IdaLea

Looks like a bug. Which CountryCode are you looking for? I should be able to send you a file so that you can keep working.

Thank you for such quick reply.

I am using N (Norway). I tried to use the one that you sent to someone from denmark, but the wire component could not accept it.

Hi @IdaLea 🙂  
Use the attached material.struxml into the “MaterialDatabase” component and you will also get the Rienforcement Material.

We will fix the issue for the next release of the API!
